Guys, I just ordered the Sprint Booster (Automatic) for my 2007 530i SMG, my concern is that after installation how much of a difference will I feel when driving in auto mode. Right now in the auto mode (without the S there is a real drag when switching between gears 1 & 2, however in the sports-auto mode the lag decreases but is still fairly imminent. My question is how big of a difference will the SB make to my current D mode experience (specially when I drive within the city). Any input would be appreciated...

Once you have installed it, you will NEVER want to drive without it!! It decreases the lag on all shifts, so not only is the car faster, it is much smoother too! I would also suggest resetting your transmission regularly as this also helps with the throttle lag!
